Static Shielding Bags are constructed of plastic and aluminum in a pattern known as “metal-in”.

The “metal-in” layer is composed of ESD shielding aluminum laminate that provides a conductive Faraday Cage around electronics inside the bag. This is what stops electrostatic discharges (ESD) from entering it.

The anti static outer layers are made of static free polyethylene (PE) and polyester (PET). These prevent the bag from charging when it rubs against other surfaces.

All static shielding bags sold on Elimstat.com are lead-free, contain no amines, N-Octanoic acid, or heavy metals. This keeps them in compliance with RoHS and REACH.

They have no effect on aluminum, copper, silver, SN-Pb coated foil, stainless steel or low-carbon steel.

Compliance with ANSI / ESD Standards

Per ANSI/ESD S8.1 the ESD Protective Symbol is printed on Elimstat Static Shielding Bags with the manufacturer’s label (Bennett & Bennett) and lot codes for traceability.

S8.1 states that this symbol is to be used to clearly mark any packaging whose function is to protect electronics from ESD. In particular, it should be used to mark any product that serves a “static shielding” function.

8100 Series bags are also compliant with traceability standards for both ANSI and The Department of Defense: ANSI/ESD S541-2008 and Mil-PRF-81705E-2010.

The ANSI/ESD Standard (S541-2008) states in section 8.2.3 Traceability – Packaging should be marked with information that allows traceability to the packaging manufacturer and to the manufacturer’s date/lot code information. The date/lot code should allow traceability to quality control information pertaining to the manufacture of the specific lot of packaging.

The Military Mil-PRF-81705E-2010 under section 3.6 requires date and lot code information, manufacturer and class of bag type.

Compliance with RoHS and REACH Standards

All static shielding bags sold on Elimstat.com are compliant with RoHS 2 (EU Dirctive 2011/65/EU).

These bags will be certified for RoHS 3 July 22, 2019. (EU Directive 2015/863/EU)
